From Worcester’s Union Bus Terminal in 1960 when this photo was taken, one could take a Greyhound bus to New York and beyond, as other travelers had since World War II. But this typical city building, which also housed the state welfare department office, made way — like the stately church to its right — for another landmark less than 10 years after this scene was captured on film. A younger generation will picture a building a bit taller, but much like this one in proportions.

Hint: Don’t confuse Union Bus Terminal with Union Station, where folks could take the train out of town, though the two weren’t too far apart.
